In this specification, the term lower signifies a group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and aryl embraces within its meaning not merely carbocyclic, eg. phenyl, naphthyl, etc., but also heterocyclic radicals, c.g. pyridyl, thiazolyl, etc.

Up to the present time, the use of the substituted triazines of the invention in stabilizing polymeric material, eg. polypropylene, has not been known. it has now surprisingly been found that other organic materials are stabilized, e.g. against oxidative deterioration, by incorporating therein effective quantities of one of the substituted triazines defined according to the present invention hereinabove.

Accordingly, it is a prime object of the invention to provide stable organic material, preferably stable polymeric material, e.g. polypropylene. In this specification it is understood that polymeric material means polyolefins, such as polyethylene, etc. Preferably, the polyolefins are of high molecular Weight, e.g. above 1900 into the hundreds of thousands range. The polyethylenes and polypropylenes may be of high density, medium density or low density class. The preferred polymeric material for stabilization is polypropylene.

Polymeric materials, such as the foregoing, find use as thermoplastic molding or coating agents. Moreover, because of their high dielectric strength and their resistance to water, they are particularly useful as insulators or clielectrics in condensers and other such equipment. It is known that these polyolefins, e.g. polyethylene and polypropylene, are attacked by oxygen, particularly when exposed to the atmosphere and at elevated temperatures. For example, during use or manufacture the desirable properties of the polyolefins may be impaired due to oxidative deterioration. Such degradation causes loss in dielectric properties, discoloration, embrittlement, gelation, etc.

Not only homopolymeric material, but aso copolymers and physical mixtures thereof are stabilized according to the present invention. For example, high impact polystyrene containing copolymers of butadiene and styrene is stabilized according to the invention.

The invention is also particularly useful in stabilizing lubricating oils of various types including aliphatic esters, such as for example dihexyl azelate, di (2-ethylhexyl) azelate, di-(3,5,5-trimethylhexyl)glutarate, di-(3,5,5-trimethylpentyl)-glutarate, di-(2-ethylhexyl)pimelate, di-(Z- ethylhexyDadipate, diisoamyl adipate, triarnyl tricarballylate, pentaerythritol tetracaproate, dipropylene glycol dipelargonate, 1,5-pentanediol-di-(Z-ethylhexanoate), etc.

The present invention also relates to the stabilizing of fatty materials including oils of animal and vegetable origin which tend to deteriorate on standing and exposure to atmospheric oxygen. Among the edible fats and oils within the scope of the present invention are: linseed oil, menhaden oil, cod liver oil, castor oil, olive oil, rapeseed oil, coconut oil, palm oil, corn oil, sesame oil, peanut oil, cotton seed oil, butter, fat, lard, beef tallow, etc. Other oils and fats which deteriorate on standing and exposure to oxygen in the air or oxygen at elevated temperatures, are all within the scope of Le invention.

Within the scope of the invention, also, are saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons which tend to deteriorate on storage, such as for example, gasolines, both natural and synthetic, in particular, saturated and unsaturated gasolines, etc., jet fuel, diesel oil, mineral oil, fuel oil, drying oil, waxes, resins, etc. Such hydrocarbons are protected against gum formation, discoloration and other deterioration with the stabilizers of the present invention.

It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide novel substituted triazine compounds which are versatile and effective stabilizers in at least a single class of the foregoing organic materials which are normally subject to deterioration caused by exposure to light and/ or heat and/or oxygen, etc.

A particularly preferred stabilizer of the invention is 6-(4-hydroxy-3,S-di-t-butylanilino)-2,4 bis (n octyl thio)-l 3,5-triazine which is especially useful in stabilizing polyolefinic material, e.g. polypropylene and polyethylene, as Well as other polymeric material, e.g. polystyrene, in particular high impact polystyrene. This triazine is also an effective stabilizer for other relatively unstable organic material, e.g. hydrocarbon oil of mineral origin, in particular mineral oil; gasoline, both natural and synthetic; oils of animal origin, in particular, lard; oils of vegetable origin, in particular, cotton seed oil; high temperature lubricating oils, e.g. diesters of fatty acids, in particular, diesters of fatty acids having from 5 to 15 carbon atoms per molecule. Further organic materials which are effectively stabilized by this triazine comprise: aldehydes, e.g. aliphatic, such as heptaldehydes.

It is a prime object of the invention, therefore, to provide a method for stabilizing organic material, such as described hereinabove, by incorporating in said organic material a stabilizing amount of a triazine compound according to the invention.

It is understood that the stabilizers of the invention are not necessarily of equivalent potency. The specific stabilizer most useful to a given unstable material will depend upon several factors for its advantages. Availability and cost of raw materials for the manufacture of the stabilizer and effective inhibitory action of the stabilizer, including duration and degree of activity, are among the factors which control the choice of a specific stabilizer for a specific substrate which is normally subject to deterioration. Toxicity, color, stability to light and/ or heat and solubility are also important factors. For example, a preferred stabilized composition according to the invention comprises from about 0.001% to about 5% by Weight of 6-(4-hydroxy-3,S-di-t-butylanilino)-2,4-bis- (n-octylthio)-1,3,5-triazine and polypropylene.

The compounds of this invention may be used also to stabilize organic material in combination with other additive agents, such as for example, antioxidants, pourpoint depressants, corrosion and rust inhibitors, dispersing agents, demulsifiers, antifoaming agents, carbon black, accelerators and other chemicals used in rubber compounding, plasticizers, color stabilizers, heat stabilizers, UV absorbers, dyes and pigments, etc.

Compounds of the Formulae II and III are also useful as intermediates in the synthesis of valuable di-and trisubstituted triazines which are themselves useful as stabilizers.

The compounds of the present invention are advantageously prepared, for example, according to the following reactions, wherein R represents the same or difi'erent radical as defined hereinbelow (the said R radicals corresponding to the previously mentioned R R R etc.):

If in Example 28, valeric anhydride is substituted for acetic anhydride, then 6-(N-valeroyl-4-hydroxy-3,S-di-tbutylanilino)-2,4-bis-(n-octylthio) 1,3,5 triazine is obtained.

Further, if in Example 28, lauric anhydride is substituted for acetic anhydride, then 6-(N-lauroyl-4-hydroxy- 3,5 di-t-butylanilino) 2,4 bis (n-octylthio)-1,3,5- triazine is obtained.

Other substituted triazines which are useful according to the invention are prepared analogously to the methods illustrated in the foregoing examples. The following are some further examples of how such substituted triazines are prepared:

If, in Example 1 (c), 4-amino-2-methy1phenol is substituted for an equimolar amount of 4-amino-2,6-di-tbutylphenol, then 6 (4 hydroxy-3-rnethyla.nilino)-2,4- dichloro-1,3,5-triazine is obtained. Alternatively, if in the same example, 4-amino-2-octadecylphenol is employed instead, then 6 (4-hydroxy-3-octadecylanilino)-2,4-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine is obtained.

If, in Example 2 (b), an equimolar quantity of sodium p-octadecylphenyl mercaptide is substituted for sodium n-octyl mercaptide, then 4,6-bis-(3,S-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyanilino)-2-p-octadecylphenylthio-1,3,5-triazine is obtained.

If, in Example 4, an equimolar amount of methyl mercaptan is employed in place of octyl mercaptan, then 6-(4- hydroxy 3,5 di-t-butylanilino) -4-methylthio-2-chloro- 1,3,5-triazine is obtained. Then, if this compound is reacted with a sodium alkylhydroxyphenyl mercaptide, e.g. 3-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl mercaptide and 3-octadecyl-4- hydroxyphenyl mercaptide, then, e.g. 6-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dit butylanilino)-4-methylthio-2-(3-methyl-4-hydroxyphenylthio)-l,3,5-triazine and 6-(4 hydroxy-3,5-di-t-butylanilino)-4-methylthio-2-(3 octadecyl-4-hydroxyphenylthio)- 1,3,5-triazine, respectively are obtained.

If, in Example 4, octadecyl mercaptan is employed instead of methyl meroaptan as mentioned above, then respectively, the following are obtained:

6- (4 hydroxy-3,S-di-t-butylanilino)-4-octadecylthio- 2-chloro-l,3,5-triazine;

6 (4 hydroxy-3,S-di-t-butylanilino)-4-octadecylthio- 2-(3-methyl-4-hydroxyphenylthio)-l,3,5,-triazine; and

6 --(4 hydroxy-3,S-di-t-butylanilino)-4-octadecylthio 2-(3-octadecyl-4-hydroxyphenylthio)-l,3,5-triazine.

If, in Example 10 (b), an equimolar quantity of 4- hydroxy-3-methylbenzyl chloride is employed in place of 4-hydroxy-3,S-di-t-butylbenzyl chloride, then 2,4,6-tris- (4-hydroxy-3-rnethylbenzylthio)-1,3,5-triazine is obtained.

If, in Example 12, an equimolar quantity of sodium is used in place of sodium n-octylthioethyl mercaptide, then 6 (4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tbutylanilino)-2,4-bis-(methylthiomethylthio) 1,3,5 triazinc is obtained.

If, in Example 14, an equimolar quantity of mercaptoacetonitrile is used instead of fl-mercapto-propionitrile, then 6 (4-hydroxy-3,5 di-t-butylanilino}2,4-bis-(cyanomethylthio)-1,3,5-triazine is obtained.

If, inExample 14, an equimolar quantity of w-mercapton-heptanonitrile is used inplace of the S-mercapto-promethylthiomethyl mercaptide .pionitrile, then 6-(4-hydroxy-3,S-di-t-butylanilino)-2,4-bis- (cyanohexylthio)-1,3,5-triazine is obtained.

EXAMPLE'29 I Unstabilized polypropylene powder (Hercules Profax a; a" 6501) is thoroughly blended with 0.5% by Weight of 6- (4-hydroxy-3,S-di-t-butylanilino -2,4-bis- (n octylthio 1,3,5-triazine made according to Example 1. The blended material is then milled on a two roller mill at 182 for 10 minutes, after which time the stabilized polypropylene is sheeted from the mill and allowed to cool.

The milled polypropylene sheet is then cut into small pieces and pressed for 7 minutes on a hydraulic press at 218 and 2000 pounds per square inch pressure. The resultant sheet of mil thickness is then tested for resistance to accelerated aging in a forced draft oven at 149. The resultant composition of 0.5% by weight of 6 (4 hydroxy 3,5 di-t-butylanilino)-2,4-bis-(n-octylthio) 1,3,5 triazine and polypropylene is stabilized against oxidative deterioration for 375 hours. The unstabilized polypropylene deteriorates after only 3 hours.

In like manner as in the foregoing example, stable compositions of polypropylene are prepared having 0.5% by weight of each of the compounds which are listed at the end of Example 36 below.

In like manner stable compositions of polypropylene are prepared with 0.1% by weight of 6-(4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tbutylanilino)-2,4-bis-(n-octylthio)-1,3-5-triazine. In like manner also, stable compositions of polyproylene are prepared with 0.1% of each of the stabilizers listed at the end of Example 36.

Similarly, all the compounds according to Examples 1-28, are incorporated into low-pressure polyethylene in an amount of 0.1% by weight by milling at 121127 for 10 min. The resultant compositions are stabilized against oxidative deterioration.

Similarly also, all the compounds according to Examples 1-28 are incorporated into high impact polystyrene (Foster Grant Tufiex, X11516) by milling at 155 in an amount of 0.1% by weight. The resultant compositions are stabilized against oxidative deterioration.

EXAMPLE EXAMPLE 31 A stabilized gasoline is prepared by incorporating into Texas cracked gasoline having no additives therein, 0.05% by weight of the stabilizer used in Example 30. The gasoline, with and without stabilizer, is tested by the oxygen bomb induction period method (ASTM D525-), with the result that the gasoline with stabilizer fails after hours, and the blank after 4 hours.

EXAMPLE 32 Stabilized lard is prepared by incorporating in lard 0.01% by weight of the stabilizer used in Example 30. Air is bubbled through both thestabilized and the un stabilized. lard for 25.5 hours at 100. The peroxide value of the stabilized lard after this aeration is 28, while the unstabilized lard has a peroxide value of 556.

EXAMPLE. 33

A stabilized high temperature lubricating oil is prepared by incorporating 2% .by weight'of the stabilizer used in Example 30 into the lubricant, which comprises diisoamyladipate (Rohm and Haas, Plexol' 26.8). The stabilized composition is'comparcd with the unstabilized lubricant by heating at 175 inthepresence of air and metallic catalysts according to the test method described in Military Specification Mii-L-7808c. After 72 hours the blank contains 83% sludge and has increased very greatly Heptaldehyde is stabilized by incoporating into the freshly distilled aldehyde 0.01% by weight of the stabilizer used in Example 30. The stabilized heptaldehyde is shaken in an oxygen atmosphere under normal pressure triazine V at room temperature (23). The time necessary for absorption of 30 parts by volume of oxygen in 25 parts of heptaldehyde is 11 hours for the stabilized heptaldehyde, but only 4 hour for heptaldehyde alone.

EXAMPLE 35 cyclohexene, freshly distilled, is stabilized by addition thereto of 0.001% by weight of the stabilizer used in Example 30. The elfectiveness of this stabilizer in cyclohexene is tested by the ASTM D5 25-5 5 oxidation test with the modification that only 10 parts by volume of cyclohexene are used in each bomb. The stabilized cyclohexene runs minutes to failure, while unstabilized cyclohexene fails after 35 minutes.

EXAMPLE 36 Paraiiin wax is stabilized by incorporating therein 0.001% by weight of the stabilizer of Example 30. The effective stabilization is illustrated by the odor test of Example 30. After 20 hours there is no perceptible odor for the stabilized wax. The unstabilized wax, however, exhibits a distinct odor.

It is understood that the foregoing Examples 2936 inclusive, compositions which comprise the unstabilized material of each of Examples 29-36 are stabilized by effective amounts, e.g. from 0.001 to 1% by weight, of at least one of the following compounds:
